Penguin Prison reMix Ellie Goulding

EllieGoulding04

Ellie Goulding’s ‘Starry Eyed’ appears to be taking the world by storm (the UK at least)! Make no mistake, this is a good thing The more Neon-Gold-knows-how-to-pick-‘em intelligent Electro tunes the better!

Of course, there is the inevitable flood of reMixes, but this one by Penguin Prison and Theophilus London stands head and shoulders above the crowd. PP is New York’s latest hip bedroom ElectroPopper who floored us all a few months back with his ‘A Funny thing’ and continues to keep us interested with a string of really good reMixes like an American Starsmith.

Check it out:

Cutting Crew just died in Drop The Lime’s arms!

So, what happens when you mix prolific Electro artist and reMixer Drop The Lime with Cutting Crew’s 80’s power balled ‘(I Just) Dies In Your Arms)?

This does:

♫ Cutting Crew – (I Just) Died In Your Arms (Drop The Lime reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

All cut up vocals and warp bass, it’s got a real Breakdance feel but has an appropriately huge breakdown!

It’s getting late, I don’t think I can cope! 😉

The Human League sign with Wall Of Sound!!!

Big, exiting, news! Finally someone has snapped up The Human League!

It was announce this week that the League have signed a multi-album deal with Wall Of Sound! This is fantastic news, WoS are a cool label, Oakey and the girls will be in good company as the label is home to the likes of Shy Child, Soulwax, Røyksopp, Tiga, tEPr etc… Just thinking about that kind of production and reMix talent getting their hands on The League is damn exiting, as is the fact that we will now be getting new League material!

Mark Jones, head of WoS, (who has apparently been chasing The League for years) said this: “It’s an honour and inspiration to have them signed to Wall Of Sound. They say ‘never work with you heroes’…but fuck that for starters”. Nicely put! And from Oakey himself: “Emerging from a decade in which everyone seems to have spent their time looking backwards we are delighted to have the opportunity to march forwards once again and attempt to produce new and exciting music in a new and exciting partnership.” See, everyone’s exited!

Listen to their 1981 single ‘The Sound Of The Crowd’ in celebration!

Ali Love Harder

Ali Love was rockin’ us all in the last three months of 2009 with the single ‘Diminishing Returns’ and some huge reMixes of his track ‘Smoke & Mirrors’, now he’s back with this tune, ‘Love Harder’, which will be the next single out on Back Yard Recordings.

‘Love Harder’ is more minimal, Italo influenced ElectroPop with some sweet 80’s-esq vocals and nice Simmonds fills. Gonna’ be real interesting to hear the album when it hit the streets.

Alphabeat’s new single reMixed

Scandinavian Wonky Popsters Alphabeat’s second studio album ‘The Spell’ hits stores on 1st March, just ahead of that they are paving the way with the single ‘Hole In My Heart’ on 22nd February.

‘Hole In My Heat’ is a slice of huge, pure Pop, genius and comes with a sweet array of reMixes.

Most notable, fellow Scandinavian’s The Sound Of Arrows, who are currently making waves amongst ElectroPop fans with their single ‘Into The Clouds’, turn their Dreamwave tinged Electro goodness on Anders and Stine’s vocals to create an instant classic Disco flavoured ElectroPop track.

Elsewhere, Wideboys create a big, radio friendly, dance tune, completely the opposite of Chew Fu’s broken beats, warp bass and Disco stabs.
